Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10-13 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the raspberries, raspberry jam, and vanilla. Spread this mixture over the baked crust.
  5. Sprinkle half of the mini chocolate chips over the raspberry layer and crumble the remaining oat mixture on top.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 22-25 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
  7. Once baked, sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and allow to cool in the pan at room temperature for at least 2 hours before cutting.
